/in , , , /by

Dr. Larry Wolk, executive director and chief medical officer of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, told a crowded room of Colorado Leads members that the state “has a pragmatic, objective and evidence-based approach to marijuana legalization.”

Wolk discussed a wide-range of issues surrounding the legal cannabis industry and dispelled a number of myths perpetuated by legalization opponents.

“Access doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in use,” he said.  “There is a very low rate of marijuana-related ER and hospital visits (in Colorado).  We shouldn’t make more out of it.”
